Benny Snell talks legend of Lynn Bowden Jr. -- "the literal glitch in college football."

If there is one person who understands what it means to dominate the sport of college football and shatter records for the Kentucky Wildcats, it’s Benny Snell Jr. The guy broke or tied 14 school records in just three years in Lexington, including career rushing yards (3,873), total touchdowns (48), rushing touchdowns (48) and 100-yard games (19).

When that guy tells you you’re special, it means something. That’s what he did last week in a TikTok dedicated to his former teammate, Lynn Bowden Jr.

Bowden may not have the career accolades Snell does, but his quarterback takeover in 2019 is something we’ll all remember for the rest of our lives. It’s how he earned First Team All-SEC and First Team All-America honors while also taking home the 2019 Paul Hornung Award, rushing for 1,468 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior while also passing for 403 yards and three touchdowns and catching 30 balls for 348 yards and a touchdown — plus 13 punts and kicks returned, to put the icing on the cake.

Oh, and he also punched an opponent in the face ahead of the 2019 Belk Bowl before going on to rush for 233 yards and throw for 73 yards and the game-winning touchdown en route to MVP honors.

“Story time on how my teammate punched an opposing player in the face and then went bookoo in the game right after doing so,” Snell said of Bowden. “Punched him in the face pregame, went crazy during the game, and won the game.”

Now, Snell wasn’t a part of that 2019 Belk Bowl or pregame fight — he entered the draft after his junior season in 2018 — but he knows his former teammate and the backstory. And he was ready to give him his flowers for letting his play back up his chippiness.

“This is Lynn Bowden Jr. I refer to him as twin, y’all refer to him as Lynn — the literal glitch in college football,” Snell said. “Can you name a player right now that’s been successful at playing quarterback, receiver, returning the ball and damn-near running back? Name a player. You can’t, it’s never been done. I’m talking about scoring touchdowns at all four positions. What are we talking about?”

Then, based on his own understanding of the events, he shared the explanation for Bowden getting feisty during pregame warmups, leading to a punch thrown at a Hokie.

“For bowl games, both teams have to do the activity together,” he continued. “For my last bowl game, we went to an amusement park. It was us and Penn State, and we chilled with the fans. That was how we did our activity. For the Belk Bowl, I don’t know what they did, but apparently that activity they did before the game didn’t go well. Boom, fast forward to before the game — I’d say the night before — somebody breaks into Lynn’s car and steals stuff. Now you see why he’s on business, stood on business.”

He then proceeds to ooh and ahh at Bowden’s game highlights, running and throwing all over the Hokies to pull off the victory in his final game as a Wildcat.

Snell ends the video by pulling out a belt and snapping it the way Bowden did to Virginia Tech that day.

Take a look for yourself — a clip you’ll probably watch on replay tonight:

In case you forgot what a freak athlete Bowden was in his time at Kentucky:

And Snell, for that matter:

Game recognizes game, real recognizes real. Two all-time Wildcats.
